L'Oreal Infallible Eye Shadow 888 Iced Latte
L'Oreal infallible eye shadows were released quite a long time (last year), and I have been passing these as I thought they might not live up to all the hypes. Couple weeks ago I did manage to pick up a couple at ULTA during their sale event (BOGO 1/2 Off + $5 Off with $10 Purchase). After playing around with these eye shadows, I was quite impressed with the color payoff as well as the lasting power.

Iced Latte is a gorgeous champagne beige shade with a shimmering metallic finish. It is great for all over lids, inner corners, and center of the lids. But I love using this just for my inner corners for highlight. It instantly brighten up the eyes. Not so great for brow bones highlight as it has that shimmering metallic finish.
The jar is made out of plastic but it doesn't look cheap. I just wish there's plastic seal wrapped around so no one will dip their germy fingers at the stores trying to test out the colors...

When opened, there's a plastic press thing that you can use to compact and keep the eye shadow in place as the texture of the eye shadow is more like loose pigments, but in a compact form. They will loosen the more you use it so it is important to keep the "do not discard" plastic thing in the jar in the event you might need to re-press the eye shadow.

For application, I have tried using both brushes and fingers to apply. And I found it best to use finger to dab on the desired eye area first (so there's less fall out) and then blend away with brush. It has a silky creamy like texture with great pigmentation so a little goes a long way. The color payoff is great even without the use of eyeshadow primer. And it lasts pretty much the whole day! For $7~8 on a single drugstore eye shadow I think it's pretty pricey. So shop around, and I'm sure you'll find some good deals. I got mine for $3.22 each jar (after BOGO 1/2 off and coupons) I thought it's a awesome deal^^
Do you own any L'Oreal Infallible Eye Shadows? What shades have you tried? and What's your favorites?
